MPs now want President William Ruto
to engage his Ugandan counterpart, Yoweri Museveni, to resolve persistent
bureaucratic hurdles and inefficiencies that continue to delay cargo clearance
at the Kenya–Uganda border.
The lawmakers say the
bottlenecks—particularly on the Ugandan side—have frustrated traders,
transporters and Kenya Revenue Authority officials, costing businesses and the
country millions of shillings in lost revenue.
Partners cite poor infrastructure,
outdated technology, porous borders and strained relations between border officials
as the main causes of congestion.
